Abyssea Discussion

[ReddwarfX]

OMG ABYSSEA ROCKS!

i was in that group lead by Braxis, its INCREDIBLE.

its a MUST to farm as an alliance if u want the best experience/cruor.

[PrincessBard]

I'm racking my brain now to remember what was in it. I believe it was Abyssea Tier II pops.

[Marcicus]

suddenly the reasoning behind COR roll not working in Abyssea makes sense. >.>

[PrincessBard]

All we did was run and kill 1 eft, then killed 1 bat, then ran to the mandy camp and stayed there the entire time. We didn't do anything special and the group wasn't really organized. It was a shout group we all responded to. Half the people this was their first time. I don't think anyone had any special key items. No one even had one piece of new gear.

We had a THF puller and BLMs sleeping like a giant merit party. Had 1 person open chests the entire time. Towards the 60~90 minute mark we started to require 2 people open chests. Then towards the end we even had 3 people opening chests. Almost constantly getting a full set of temp items refreshed into our inventories so no one had to rest. Even with 4 parties going on around us, we never slowed down at all.

[Luceo]

There is a Cointeach camp as well we've yet to check out but those things are even squishier so it might be viable. Bats aren't bad either as they are CoP bats and dont have that lame ass attack down.

Bear in mind they are rather evasive once they level up if you arent almost or at level 80. Bring a bard or cor and make sure your merits are in place. Also a ranger for acid bolts would be even better.

Happy Hunting guys!

Did you get all those time extensions through using the keys or were they just randomly given to you through killing mobs?

Also, were you just killing the mandies the entire time and nothing else, ie popping the thew bomblet NM?

[tymora]

That sounds like salvation for ALL the jobs out there that can't find a party lol...
I smell a nerf incoming.

[urat]

...This is relevant to my interests.

Probably going to go with the birds or cointeachs for my alliance tomorrow. I think they'll enjoy hearing about this.

[tymora]

I tried the imps in Konschadt. They have like x2 the HP of regular Imps of the same level. It might be the same for Cointeaches.

[Yugl]

If this means people start XPing in alliances at Abyssea, I think SE may have outdone themselves (In a good way).

[Shibo]

Anyone know if kills in abyssea count towards Magian Trials? I would assume they would, but the way the exp/cruor appears in the chat log does make me wonder if they dont. Anyone tested this yet?

they do, it was posted earlier in the thread. go nuts.

[Uwen]

I've read the majority of the thread, and the 3 new ones, and was wondering if anyone has tried to pick the chests? I've not had a chance to go in as THF yet myself, but a thought crossed my mind. Perhaps it could offer some sort of bonus to the chest mini-game, like it does with caskets, or perhaps just open it altogether like a coffer, or if you used a forbidden key.

[Zag]

Should we make a seperate thread for Atma?
I am sure atma follows a pattern even though they are different which each pop from the same NM.

for example, the rabbit NM has been hit by atma when he got hit by "flash" and got hit by "bio" in another run. Even though his atma changed, Maybe it is always an "enfeebling magic" Atma. Meaning it will always be an enfeeble spell and even though its a random enfeeble spell, you know what to look for now next time you pop it. It can be bind, silence, flash ,bio, slow, para, blind , etc.

1.Which atma drops from which monster?
2.whats the exact stats on the atma buffs?
3.Whats all the atma moves that were used to get the "!!!" over the head or an atma history list on a certain NM?
4. What does the atma weaken on the NM. Does it weigh him down? Does it stun/petrify/terror/bind/intimidate etc. the mob?

Atma of the Baying Moon
Attack+: Major
"Magic Atk. Bonus": Major drops from the gnole NM lugarhoo. abyssea holla.

Atma of Tremors
Damage taken -: Minor
Enhances "Resist Silence" effect: Major. Drops from the worm NM Mikey something.
abyssea holla.
Atma of the Savage Tiger
AGI+: Major (Major as in +30 AGI)
"Double Attack"+: Minor≺≻ Obtained from Megantereon tiger? abyssea holla.


Atma of the Noxious Fang
"Subtle Blow"+: Major
Water damage attack +: Major
Enhances "Resist Poison" effect: Major≺≻
drops off the peiste NM in abyssea highlands.

Atma of the Cosmos
Darkness elemental attack +: Major

Atma of the Adamantine

Atma of the Claw

Earth elemental accuracy +: Major≺≻ Drops off the Titan NM or scorpion NM?

Atma of the Harvester
STR+: Major
"Double Attack"+: Minor
Enhances "Resist Sleep" effect: Major≺≻ Drops off 1 of the Mandragora NMs? Drops from Tahrongi zone I think .DATs shows.

-----

The Atma supposely are perma buffs that are always on in the zone but you can only equip 1 at a time and need a lunar abyssite to make it (drops from 1 of the 3 bosses in the 3 zones).
The atma itself drops to entire alliance if you find the correct "!!!" weakness over the NMs head. This is found by using different weaponskills ranging from magic based to phyical based to additional effect (enfeeble) based. Or by using the correct magic spell. (usually thought to be flash and bio 2 so far on most NMs has yielded the "!!!".
Maybe if you do all 3 quests, you can hold 3 atma buffs at the same time probably. IDK But one person has gottan an atma completed and it was Atma of the Savage Tiger.
AGI+: Major (Major as in +30 AGI). So I assume all major (stats follow the same +30 rule).

stats are minor, major and superior. (refresh mino is prob 1/tic, major is 2/tic and superior is 3/tic I would assume) AGI+ minor is probably +15, major is +30 and superior +45 or +60?
Don't know, but I would recommend EvERYONE to find atma on EVERY NM you battle in abyssea. Because you all get the key item when you defeat the NM and it debuffs the NMs hard as well.

[Cairthenn]

It doesn't need a separate thread, discuss it here.

[Atoreis]

How is Atma works exactly? Its perma buff for abbysea or one time? you need to turn it on or soemthing? etc. etc. would be nice if someone clear that out.

[Toth]

I can also confirm the viablity of alliance exp camps. Went in with an ally of 12 the other day to farm some cruor. We went to La Thiene and to the worm camp. Aside from taking some time to kill the NM worm, we managed about 7k in about 30 minutes of killing.

[Karbuncle]

Attempted the Alliance Farm method in Tahrongi, had a good 15 people, numbers thinned out over time but.

During the begining, first ~30 minutes exp/crour was pure shit, after 30 (two people only had one stone and got booted) we were down 13, exp was still meh, 100 a kill, 10~20 Cruor. We literally got maybe 1 chest every 15+ Kills at best.

After a while it died down to about only 9-10 of us, Chests popped much more often, though, and exp was around 200-250 a kill, 20~30 Cruor.

I stayed for an Hour and a Half and got 20k exp, we didn't get a single "extension" box, got several "Temp item" boxes, very rarely did we get Cruor boxes, only 2 our entire run, 3 Exp boxes.

We killed a fuckton of mobs too :\, we must have gotten rather unlucky, was fighting the Psych-lycos.

One thing of note is, once we thinned out to about 8 people, we got MUCH MUCH more chests, maybe 1 every 2-3 kills, as opposed to the near nothing we got when we were in a bigger alliance. Unfortunately we got an asston of "YOUR BODY IS GLOWING RED LUL" boxes, and Temp item boxes, and not the kind we wanted =(

[Destinye]

Doing it will a full alliance we got chests almost every other kill, red chests being more frequent some runs than others. So I don't think it's alliance size, it's just the usual FFRG.

I bet theres something to Body-lights and chests :\, but i have no way to test this .-.;
